Full Description
This book, now in a comprehensively revised and expanded third edition, covers the full spectrum of applications of Doppler ultrasound within Obstetrics and Gynecology. The current standards of practice in Doppler ultrasound are described, and information presented on the most recent developments in clinical practice and technology. The basic and physical principles of Doppler ultrasound are also clearly explained. Among other topics, the chapters on obstetric applications address the use of Doppler for fetal examination, including investigation of the fetal cerebral circulation; Doppler echocardiography of the fetal heart; and the role of Doppler in cases of post-term pregnancy and multiple gestation. The final part of the book focuses on the use of Doppler ultrasound in patients with gynecologic conditions, including ectopic pregnancy, infertility, benign disorders, and malignancies. Written by distinguished experts in the field, this superbly illustrated book will be a must-havereference for maternal-fetal medicine specialists, obstetrician-gynecologists, radiologists, and sonographers and will also be of value for researchers in the field.
